The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 952, aims to amend section 10-29a of the general statutes to officially designate April 11th of each year as Parkinson's Awareness Day. This designation is intended to raise awareness about Parkinson's disease, a neurological condition, and to inform the public about the available treatments for it.
The bill introduces new legal language that establishes this specific day for awareness purposes, while there are no deletions from the current law mentioned in the text. The initiative is supported by Senator Osten and Representative Walker, reflecting a commitment to increasing public knowledge and understanding of Parkinson's disease.
